Converting TX3G subtitles to idx/sub

[JimmyBarnes]

Any idea how to do this, or if it's even possible?

TX3G is some sort of QuickTime subtitle format I think?

A soft format I guess, looks like mp4 timed text. Extract with something and post 1st 20 lines of it.

Try SubtitleEdit -> File -> Export -> ...

I worked out this method:

Used ffmpeg 3.3.1 to extract TX3G subtitles in ABC.mp4 to ASS using:

ffmpeg -i ABC.mp4 xyz.ass

Opened xyz.ass in Subtitle Edit 3.4.1 x64, then did File, Export, VobSub (sub/idx), Export all lines..., xyz.sub, Save.

Used default settings: Line height 37, Simple rendering, Anti-aliasing with transparency. "Video res" adjusts the subtitle size, 720p was OK though on the small size.

Thanks anyway

Try opening the .mp4 file directly in Subtitle Edit.

Yeah you're right, the MP4 opens directly after giving a choice of what subtitle to display :D
